Jeremiah 12
1 Namah taengla kang rhoe vaengah BOEIPA namah tah na dueng coeng. Tedae laitloeknah te namah taengah ka thui koinih balae tih halang rhoek kah longpuei tah thaihtak tih hnukpoh rhoek loh a hnukpoh boeih khaw a dingsuek?
Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet would I reason the cause with thee: wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they at ease that deal very treacherously?
2 Amih te na phung tih a yung a hlak dongah a thaih cuen. A ka nen tah na yoei uh dae a kuel lamloh hla coeng.
Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root; they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
3 Tedae BOEIPA namah loh kai nan ming. Kai he nan hmuh tih ka lungbuei khaw na noem coeng. Amih te maeh la namah taengah boiva bangla bawt lamtah ngawnnah khohnin kah ham rhoe laeh.
But thou, O LORD, knowest me; thou seest me, and triest mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
4 Diklai he me hil nim a nguekcoi vetih khohmuen boeih kah baelhing a rhae ve. A khuikah khosa rhoek kah boethae dongah rhamsa neh vaa te a khoengvoep tih, “Kaimih kah hmailong he khui pawh,” a ti uh.
How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither? for the wickedness of them that dwell therein, the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our latter end.
5 Rhalkap neh na yong vaengah pataeng na ngak atah metlamlae te marhang taengah na sai eh? Ngaimong kho ah pataeng na palyal atah metlamlae Jordan kah mingthennah khuiah na saii eh?
If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and though in a land of peace thou art secure, yet how wilt thou do in the pride of Jordan?
6 Amih na manuca neh na pa imkhui long pataeng nang taengah hnukpok uh coeng. Amih te nang taengah khuk pang uh tih nang kah na then te thui uh cakhaw amih te tangnah boeh.
For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; even they have cried aloud after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.
7 Ka im te ka hnoo vetih ka rho te ka phap ni. Ka hinglu pumting te a thunkha kut ah ka tloeng ni.
I have forsaken mine house, I have cast off mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8 Kamah taengah ka rho la om dae kai taengah duup kah sathueng bangla a ol neh ha thoeng. Te dongah ni anih te ka hmuhuet.
Mine heritage is become unto me as a lion in the forest: she hath uttered her voice against me; therefore I have hated her.
9 Ka taengkah ka rho he rhikrhek vatlung nim oe? A taengkah vatlung kilkoel nim oe? Cet uh, kohong mulhing boeih coi lamtah caak hamla lo.
Is mine heritage unto me as a speckled bird of prey? are the birds of prey against her round about? go ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour.
10 Aka dawn rhoek loh ka misurdum muep a phae tih ka hmakhuen te a suntlae uh. Ka hmakhuen sahnaih te khosoek khopong la a khueh uh.
Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
11 Khopong la a khueh vaengah kamah taengah nguekcoi uh. Diklai pum he a dingrhak la pong coeng tih lungbuei ah aka dueh hlang khaw om pawh.
They have made it a desolation; it mourneth unto me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.
12 Aka rhoelrhak ham te khosoek kah caphoei cuk boeih soah ha pawk coeng. BOEIPA kah cunghang tah diklai khobawt lamloh diklai khobawt duela a hlap tih pumsa boeih tah a ngaimong pawh.
Spoilers are come upon all the bare heights in the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD devoureth from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh hath peace.
13 Cang a tuh dae hling la a ah uh dongah a kha uh akhaw hoeikhang uh pawh. BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa lamloh na cangvuei khaw yak coeng.
They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to pain, and profit nothing: and ye shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
14 Kamah pilnam Israel taengah ka phaeng rho dongah aka moi uh ka imben boethae boeih ham ni BOEIPA loh a thui tangkhuet. Kai loh amih te a khohmuen dong lamloh ka phuk tih Judah imkhui te amih lakli lamloh ka phuk.
Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.
15 Tedae ka phuk hnukah amih te ka mael thil vetih amih ka haidam khaw om bitni. A rho taeng neh a diklai la rhip rhip ka mael sak ni.
And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them; and I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
16 A tue a pha atah Baal lamloh toemngam ham ka pilnam a tukkil uh bangla mulhing BOEIPA kamah ming neh toemngam ham ka pilnam longpuei te a tukkil rhoela a tukkil ni. Ka pilnam lakli ah tlingtlawn uh ni.
and it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, As the LORD liveth; even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of my people.
17 Tedae a hnatun uh pawt atah namtom te phuk tih milh sak ham ka phuk van ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
But if they will not hear, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it, saith the LORD.
